andBeyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge

Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Tanzania

Described as the “game lodge on top of the world”, it is hard not to fall in love with the breathtaking surroundings of andBeyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge. Yes, its name is a mouthful but you will forget its complexity once you stay at this iconic safari destination. Here, Victorian furnishings and charming, somewhat quirky, African touches create a sumptuous atmosphere that is as elegant and unique as the Crater itself. The lodge has three camps, each with its own sitting and dining areas.

This is one of our favorite Tanzanian retreats to send our honeymooning guests. It is steeped in romance – with chanting Maasai warriors, roses and rose petals everywhere, crackling fireplaces, and luxurious bubble baths.
